In the wise words of Warrior Poet and Scholar Randy Jackson, “That’s going to be a no from me, dog”

I love my S76 but she is not quiet.

So much room for activities!

My statements weren’t meant to be adversarial and don’t take this as disagreeing because I don’t. I’m on board with that. If you support Amazon, you’re complicit in exploiting the working class people that get exploited by the company. If you don’t support Amazon, those same workers are going to get fired to make sure profits still go up. Most people know on some level that Amazon fucks over it’s workers but that has not stopped a lot of people from ordering more cheap garbage they don’t need.

Across Amazon’s network, there are millions of orders a day. The sentiment of deleting your account is nice but it’s a drop in the ocean. Unless there is a major societal shift, this serves no other purpose than to make yourself feel better by not supporting the business. It’s admiral and way to go taking a principled position but meter your expectations. The sheer vitriol thrown at the Warehouse employees by the customer base is truly sad. As others have stated, AWS is inescapable.

Rocked a lot of Guild Wars 2 and Pokemon today. In Guild Wars, I just unlocked my Skyscale(Flying mount) and I’ve been cruising around my favorite zones doing some sight seeing. I also found my 1st Gen 3DS and got it cleaned up and updated.

It isn’t necessarily in the same vein, but I bought myself an Analogue Pocket and Pokemon Emerald for Christmas. No Battle pass. No 10 year olds telling me they slept with my mother. No slurs getting hurled my way. It’s a simple setup, but I’m loving every second of it. Plus, playing old arcade games is a trip I’ve got my laptop for Guild Wars 2, Elden Ring, and DRG when the mood strikes me. It’s a simple gaming life these days and I’m loving it :)

Nope. Don’t like that…

Yooo! Let’s go Pop_OS!

The most recent time I watched the TV version it was, “Yippee Ki-yay, my friend”.

All of the Souls games kinda have an easy mode baked in. Ranged weapons/Sorceries generally provide an easier experience. Honestly though, I just find I don’t really care if there is an easy mode or not. I enjoyed the challenge and if a difficulty slider was added, it would not have detracted from my experience in the slightest. I played through the games for the challenge and I enjoyed it immensely. If someone else doesn’t enjoy the challenge, then that’s okay. I’m not going to gatekeep them. We’re all SunBro’s at our core and I will always drop my Summon Sign for others in need to find

Stuff like this is why I don’t tell people I game. The Gamer Stink is real and I don’t want to be guilty by association. Seriously, go touch grass. The things that you’re denigrating someone else for are pixels and code on a computer. Find some way to not be garbage humans.

Her music is interesting. Hope she ends up happier

Not insane. That actually did happen.

Thanks for posting this! Being male and being abused is a very isolating experience on many levels. I wish good things upon you, friend.

Based on your post, you sound like you don’t want to use it but feel obligated to. You aren’t obligated to use it. I purchased a Linux machine and daily drive it for everything I can. It was a little rough to start but I have picked up on it pretty quick. You will deal with weird quirks from time to time. Most issues I run into are common enough that a quick Google search will fix me up or get me pointed in the right direction. If you want to try Linux, just know that there is a learning curve and be patient with it. As far as Distros, start with a “Just Works” Distro. I recommend Linux Mint or Pop_OS. They work well out of the box while having plenty of room for tinkering. I’m by no means a programmer or Developer but Linux is still accessible without a deep arcane knowledge base of CS information to draw from. Regardless if you use Linux or not, I hope you enjoy your new PC!

Bratmobile slaps! Thanks for some new tunes!

It’s a good game. I think it qualifies as a cozy game but it’s a go at your own pace and enjoy the ride experience

We’re Rich!!

Little bit of Insider Baseball on knives. Anytime a knife doesn’t list the blade steel, I assume we’re looking at 7Cr17MOV, 440C, or D2 with a bad heat treat. That price point is quite a bit higher than these cheap Chinese steels. Just another “True Patriot” grift. Pocket knives are cool tools and there are a slew of American brands that won’t break by cutting into cardboard. These Trump Combat Knives will last a couple months maybe.

Israel has a right to defend itself from kids, firefighter, aid workers, civilians, etc. All of these are so menacing and scawwy!
